Here's that sink full of peppers I mentioned earlier.

And some individuals I thought were pretty.

And while we're here, can anyone give me a clue as to what this pepper might be? I think it's a habanero of some kind.

roper, thank you for the offer! Where did you get your seed from originally? Perhaps I can buy it there?

I bought it as a plant from cross country nurseries.

Wow! Beautiful. What do you do with them? Dry, hot sauce, ???

Question for you veterans...I am growing Malagueta Peppers and they are turning red at about an inch long. Do they get much bigger than that? Doesn't the red color mean it is time to pick them?

Thanks for any info.

Here's a picture...I have them in a sunny window to dry them.

Just found this out - perhaps I have the smaller version because I am picking them too early? Or would too early be green? Or will they continue to grow once red?

Malagueta Chilli Pepper
60,000 - 100,000 Scovilles
The Malagueta pepper is a type of chili used in Brazil, Portugal and Mozambique. It is a small, tapered, green pepper that turns red as it matures at about 5 cm. Two sizes are seen in markets, which will sometimes have different names: the smaller ones are called malaguetinha in Brazil and piri piri in Portugal and Mozambique, and the larger ones are called malaguetão in Brazil and malagueta in Portugal. They are not different varieties, just peppers of different maturities from the same plant.

Thank you for such generous offer! I will look around, and if I can't find seeds I will certainly come back begging for a few of yours

Once they are red pick them. They will not grow anymore. I make powder, pickle some and make pepper jelly with the jalapeno's.

Would you share your pepper jelly recipe? Do you use the jalapeno's green or wait until they are red?
